Words Starting With "D" FAQ

What makes D words useful in Scrabble?

D is worth 2 points and there are 4 D tiles in a standard set. The useful thing about D is how many common words end in it, from "bad" and "sad" to longer plays like "board" or "sound". That makes D a reliable tile for hooking onto existing words and extending them, which is one of the core ways to rack up points.

Are there any short D words worth memorizing?

Beyond the obvious ones, "da", "di", and "de" are all valid in Scrabble dictionaries and worth knowing when the board is crowded. "Daw" and "dev" appear in some word lists too. These short plays seem minor but they can save you from getting stuck with a difficult rack when there is nowhere obvious to go.

What D words come up most in Wordle?

"Dance", "dated", "depth", "drawn", and "drill" all appear fairly often. D words in Wordle tend to sit in the middle of the difficulty range, common enough to expect but specific enough to take a few guesses. Words with D plus a common vowel combination like "oa", "ea", or "ai" tend to be the most frequent answers.
